Shawn Matthias (yes that Shawn Matthias) was 5th in scoring for crying out loud.

The guy is good, and has surely picked up a lot, and played a part in the Blackhawks success. He would be my pick now that Boudreau is gone.
I recall Warrener on the radio talking about him when he got fired as he still has a few connections with the franchise and he said the players couldn't stand him or his practice methods. I think there's a reason he hasn't found work in the league again as the Panthers gig really didn't go well for him.
